A heavy, right-leaning sans with rounded construction and soft, tapered terminals. Strokes are broadly even, with minimal contrast and large counters that keep the shapes open despite the mass. The letterforms favor smooth, circular geometry (notably in C, O, and G), while diagonals and joins are slightly pinched to maintain clarity at the slant. Uppercase forms are compact and sturdy; lowercase shows a robust rhythm with a single-storey a and g, a tight-shouldered r, and a short, assertive t that reinforce a condensed, forward-moving texture.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, dynamic voice is needed. The rounded, heavy shapes also work well for packaging and signage, especially in short phrases or logo-like settings where impact and friendliness should coexist.
The overall tone is punchy and upbeat, combining a sporty, kinetic slant with approachable rounded forms. It reads as bold and assertive without feeling sharp, giving it a friendly, retro-leaning confidence suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, energetic sans that stays readable through generous counters and rounded geometry. Its consistent slant and compact, sturdy proportions suggest a focus on motion and emphasis for display-driven typography.
The numerals are large and blocky with rounded corners, matching the letterforms’ soft geometry and maintaining strong legibility in display sizes. The oblique angle is consistent across cases, producing a cohesive, forward-leaning rhythm in longer lines of text.
